PIP Re-assessment

RubyRed

You are being assessed as you are now so wherever possible you need to provide up to date information, you can supply older information but you need to show that it is still relevant to your conditions as they are now. For example; if you have reports in regard to your ability to mobilise from your previous assessment and your conditions are ones that will not improve then they should be classed as still relevant.

For completeness, whilst the assessor and Decision Maker occasionally have access to a claimants previous records, this is rare and you cannot rely on it happening.

I just want to re-emphasise my previous comment, you cannot rely on either assessor or the Decision Maker to access any of your previous records, even if they did, that information would not be detailed in your ESA50 and therefore any context would likely be lost.
